Does not reduce the whiteness and color fastness of fibers or fabrics.

The softened fiber or fabric is not easy to be discolored by heat, and there should be no changes in color, feel, or odor during storage.

If the softener is emulsion, its emulsion stability is better.

According to different processing requirements, it can have proper water absorption or water repellency, anti-static properties, and have water washing or dry cleaning resistance.

No adverse effects after human skin contact.

Due to the wide variety of textiles, different fibers used, different fabric specifications, different fabric uses, and different finishing requirements, the selection of softeners cannot be generalized.

To obtain multiple performance effects, two or more softeners can be used in combination. For example, the combined application of silicone softener and long-chain aliphatic softener can achieve a better effect of soft, plump and smooth hand feeling. It can also combine the application of softener with mechanical softening and often obtain good results. effect.
